He moves me. How could anyone listen to him and somehow miss the fact that they are in the presence of pure inspiration? He puts every single thoughtcell into everything he does.
the subtelty of tom waits does not solely lie in the deepness of his lyrics, but mostly in the incomprehensible way they are put forward in. it seriously takes me 5 intensive listens to even understand one song, by that time you are already on one level with the guy.
It's like stumbling across a watering hole for your soul that makes you simultaneously wonder why you never noticed the desert before and forget it. There aren't enough of them in the world and you'll be hard pressed to find one that runs deeper then Tom Waits.
The meaning of this scene is that you can miss some really great stuff in life while you're moping around wondering whether someone loves you or not. But sometimes that's just what you gotta do.
'with a voice like gravel' - Tom Waits u are beyond any superlative i can think of. How do u define genius? Tom Waits is my definition, role model, even!
I haven't seen this video since my beat-up bootleg VHS of it in college 20 years ago. I wondered how it would hold up, and I love it just as much as I ever did.
2005 yılında küçükyalı'da bu şarkıyı üst üste 3 saat dinleyerek rekor kırmıştık .işin ilginci bıkan olmamıştı .hipnoz olmayalım diye ben el atmıştım olaya direkt kapatmıştım .herkes bomboş hissetmişti kendini şarkıyı kapatınca.

@sercangolgeci meh, actually we dont use instabul cause costantiople is more like a greek world. its like calling the eifel tower, tour d' eifel. its weird
Just found this. Until I read the comments I thought it was, “Ever drive a car with your dad?” Incredible must have replayed this seven or eight times now.
And continue to stuggle you will, my friend. It hasn't been released as DVD, although you might find it used in VHS form on Amazon (it's out of print).
I hope this never gets removed from YT.
Such a comfort chaotic song to quietly ruin your life too while the world sleeps.
Genius.
I wish Tom Waits would stop interrupting Tom Waits.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
the first tom waits song i ever heard. the line 'never drive a car when you're dead" made me a life long fan.
He moves me. How could anyone listen to him and somehow miss the fact that they are in the presence of pure inspiration? He puts every single thoughtcell into everything he does.
My favorite Tom Waits tune.....
Never trust a man in a blue trench coat, Never drive a car when you're dead.
Wise Words Tom!
Poet, genius, madman, Tom - love it!
If you had to describe to somebody why this is majestic and mind-blowing, you would not be able to.....
tom waits is freaking great, my favorite one
How different is this version from the studio's recorded! Wow! This one has more passion!
this is ridiculously good. pure art
its fun to hear this song now, when İ am in İstanbul.. met a guy from belgium who chose to travel to this city because of this song :D

The dance of the garrage lamp! God, what a style!
Don't make em like Tom anymore. ✌️
Blue Velvet...

and all this time i've been dancing WITHOUT a huge lightbulb. i feel such a bloody idiot. I will rectify this immediately.
This cat's a genius, man. Roots in Jazz so he can experiment like a modern-day Dr. Frankenstein with his music.
Fuck. Yes.
He's the ABSOLUTE ARTIST. Wish I could see him sometime here in Greece...
the most fantastic group of musicians,sweet jesus!
This is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.
'with a voice like gravel' - Tom Waits u are beyond any superlative i can think of. How do u define genius? Tom Waits is my definition, role model, even!
This man changed my life the day I first heard the ball-bearing gargling monster. Now it's whisky on my cornflakes everyday.
Only Tom Waits could wear silk overalls, Elton John shades and a Cruella Deville ciggarette ans still look 100% badass...long live Sir Waits!
What a song! Incredible artist...
toms a great dancer!! i love this song!
This is true antidote to the American Idol generation
Is there anything better on you tube than this ? If there is it,ll be another Tom Waits video . Incredible , I wish he was my friend. Brilliant !
Best performer ever.
I haven't seen this video since my beat-up bootleg VHS of it in college 20 years ago. I wondered how it would hold up, and I love it just as much as I ever did.
This version is so much better than the Franks Wild Years version. It's one of my favorites.
WOW I've never seen the video. EPIC enormous ahh ahhh I'm in awe. After all these years, I keep rediscovering Tom. ♥ ♥ ♥
By far the best version 10/10
Will never forgive the director for cutting away during Ralph Carney's and Marc Ribot's solos...

+turan san Çünkü Küçükyalı'lı olmak bunu gerektirir. Tebrik ederim güzel kardeşim. Sağlam kaybedenmişsiniz.
Direk kapatmışmıydın :) 3 saat sonra direk
amazing! great artist!
Bought this album and Waits freaked me out. Been one of favorites ever since.
I still have this vhs from the library...
That sax player.
Yeah
+Seyit Cezaoğlu Ralph Carney is his name and he burns, hell yeah.

The bass player...
Bloody hell this band is so incredibly tight.
"Never trust a man in a blue trenchcoat / Never drive a car when you're dead"
Pure genious!
Tom is the greatest!

Thank you god of music for Tom.
This is a top comment if I've ever seen one - the truth in a nutshell and so beautifully put. Tom would agree with you - frank too.
Pure................... perfect & raw
An evening with Waits and Ribot is a fine evening of entertainment i tells ya.
no official DVD releases of Big Time, as far as I know... although, a self-made DVD is available on Torrents (I got it from there ;))

This is my all time favorite recording of his, I want this so bad, it was a VHS right or just an album?
Its so great!

Yeah, the faster tempo gives it so much more swing
too bad it keeps getting interrupted. wonder if there is a version without it.
